Assigning Data to Roles

To run the Correlation Analysis task, you must select an input data set. To filter the input data source, click Filter Icon

You must also assign at least two columns to the Analysis variables role, or you must assign at least one column to the Analysis variables role and one column to the Correlate with role.

Roles	Description
Roles
Analysis variables	lists the variables for which to compute correlation coefficients.
Correlate with	lists the variables with which the correlations of the analysis variables are to be computed.
Partial variables	removes the correlation of these variables from the analysis and correlates with variables before calculating the correlation.
Additional Roles
Frequency count	lists a numeric variable whose value represents the frequency of the observation. If you assign a variable to this role, the task assumes that each observation represents n observations, where n is the value of the frequency variable. If n is not an integer, SAS truncates it. If n is less than 1 or is missing, the observation is excluded from the analysis. The sum of the frequency variable represents the total number of observations.
Weight	lists the weights to use in the calculation of Pearson weighted product-moment correlation.
Group analysis by	enables you to obtain separate analyses of observations for each unique group.
